About Maple Web Host Guide

Summary: Maple Web Host Guide is a new, independent website that helps Canadian small business owners, webmasters and developers choose hosting and run their own infrastructure with confidence. We are a publication, not a hosting company.
What we do
- Explain how to evaluate hosting providers, with emphasis on Canadian data centres and privacy.
- Publish step-by-step server tutorials you can follow on your own infrastructure.
- Provide free tools such as our bandwidth and storage calculator.

A new, independent site
How the site is funded
We may earn commissions from some links to hosting and software companies, and we may display clearly labelled advertising. These relationships never decide what we recommend. Read our editorial and advertising policy for details.
